On the heels of last month's Moto Z2 Play and additional modular add-ons, Motorola today unveiled its new flagship, the Moto Z2 Force Edition, a shatter- and waterproof model. In addition, the company announced two new Moto Mods: a 360-degree video/still camera and an independently powered mobile game controller.

The Moto Z2 Force Edition is available for pre-order now from all four major U.S. carriers, along with U.S. Cellular, Best Buy and Motorola.com at $30/ or $33.33/month or $799, depending on the retailer. It will become available Aug. 10.

While the 360 Camera Moto Mod ($299) also will be available from all outlets at launch, the gaming controller ($79.99) will initially be a Verizon and Best Buy exclusive with availability about a week after launch. For a limited time, buyers will get a free Insta-Share Projector Moto Mod, a $299 value, via mail.

Getting a jump on next month's Samsung Note 8 and the pending Apple iPhone 8 announcements, Motorola's aggressive Moto Mod launches are an attempt to build a new kind of smartphone ecosystem. "Moto Mods gave us a story to tell — something different to bring to the market," noted Matt Crowley, Motorola's channel marketing director. "It lends itself to our overall heritage, innovative products that pushed the industry forward. These new Mods alter the experience for the user."

While Crowley said the Moto Mod product line has proven popular and has improved sales, Motorola's global smartphone market share remains in the low single-digits.
